LiveWire Mobile Selects Inforonics to Monitor Network Performance and Provide Technical Support for Mobile Personalization Services


LITTLETON, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- Inforonics, LLC, a custom managed services and branded technical support provider, announced today that it has signed a contract with Framingham, MA-based LiveWire Mobile, a new division of NMS Communications (NASDAQ: NMSS), specializing in delivering mobile personalization services to mobile service operators. Under the agreement, Inforonics will provide server and device management for LiveWire Mobile's servers, firewalls, load balancers and switches that are hosted remotely in New York and California data centers.
